Yes, I've tried the Yeo but only briefly. However, I do use bassbone mouthpieces on my euphonium (Conn 1 1/4H, Marcienkiwicz George Roberts model, etc...) when I practice sometimes to increase my strength in the upper register. I personally think that the difficulty with playing a large bassbone mouthpiece on euphonium is not necessarily hitting the high notes, but having good "color" and response in the high register. To each his own, though. I believe Klaus uses a Yeo mouthpiece on his 641, so you should ask him.
